M&R presents Quick Tips with Matt Marcotte. Today, Matt demonstrates tips and techniques to load a shirt onto an automatic press that can be used on a manual as well.
Stay tuned for more M&R Quick Tips coming soon!

Hahaha, I've been printing for 21 years and NEVER seen anyone load like you did in this vid. The flip method is the way to go for speed and accuracy. I'm from the Detroit area.

When you do a FRONT print, I prefer the 👕shirts👕 to be laid out with the BACKS Up. I was a Printer for about 27 years and the Flip method was fast and accurate for me.

great video. I am a lefty and most shops are set up with the cart to the right. When I can put it on my left side great but for those times that lefties have to work from the right side this is what works for me. I put the cart over more to the right at an angle and use my feet to do a pivot . That helps me to reach the shirt without doing to much of a twist . Otherwise I would get fatigued really fast

How do you know how far back to pull shirt

[@deonridley]

Pull It regardless all the way to the neck shoulders and then pull the the neck back to your laser line

This is very helpful, thanks. Request for other tutorials on Sportsman EX MICRO registration (no Tri-Loc videos - I know you want to sell those, but many shops won't have them) as we need the kindergarten version on how to set these in the correct directions. This is sooooo very difficult to train new techs without references to get correct. Please?

Been printing over 8 years ....good video ...only weird thing to me is the “flipping the shirt” thing lol

[@MrBrandonLee]

you the only one lol

[@theamericanthinker]

I agree with @1ihunt, I've been printing for over 35 years and you should face the front down and flip it. Or better yet, remove this video before you infect young printers with the wrong way!

Idea? learn to use your feet to turn, don't twist, you'll thank me in 20 years time.

When showing someone how to load I compare the motion to a pivot similar to what a basketball player would do.

the way i load is my boss does it so yeah i’d say that’s pretty fast
